School Zone’s Math Readiness Sticker Workbook and Big Alphabet Workbook

Smarty Pants Review
I’m a teacher at heart and try to incorporate educational activities with my munchkin each day.

Between trips to the park, birthday parties, the zoo and more we do all sorts of educational activities! We sing the alphabet at least a dozen times a day, together we write out the alphabet and her name, we count anything and everything, we paint letters, write them with chalk, form them with play-do. It’s great and best of all I am seeing the work payoff. At 21 months she could identify every letter of the alphabet and count to 13!

To supplement these activities, I have tried out 2 School Zone workbooks, Math Readiness Stickers Workbook Pre-K and Big Alphabet Workbook Ages 3-5. She LOVES using these books. Each afternoon we do a few pages. The Math Readiness Sticker Book is our favorite so far! This book includes sheets of stickers that are used with each page. My daughter, as I’m sure is the case with most children, loves stickers. We color, circle, write out and sticker a different number each day. Here’s the number three! (She wrote the numbers with much of my help!)

The Big Alphabet Book is also great. She is learning how letters and words (a is for apple) are connected, as well as objects (firehouse and a fireman) are related. She is learning how to draw a line (huge challenge) to show these connections.

Why is it a Smarty Pants Product?
As a Smart Mama it is so important to always try to provide the best for the munchkin(s). Adding educational type activities is certainly a way to provide the best. School Zone workbooks not only provide an educational tool for mom’s to use with their little ones, but they make it fun! She loves them…I wouldn’t have her use them if she didn’t.

  1. We are constantly at the library checking out books for our 4 1/2 year old emergent reader and help her decode words in books to assist her with her reading.

  2. We make letters out of playdough. Also do cutting work with magazines and make beautiful pictures to hang on the refrig.

  3. We read every night and always count wherever we go (steps,..etc), we also do simple addition and subtraction problems with small candies and cereal.

  4. On a walk around the neighborhood, ask your “big kid” to add up all the numbers in certain house numbers.

  5. I read with my grandson and we go over the alphabet and numbers. I make it fun for him.

    Thank you!

  16. We go on a lot of nature walks looking for plants and animals. Then when we get home we draw what we have seen or read more about it in a book.

  17. I would love to get this for my young niece and nephew. I enjoyed reading as a child and I would love for them to have that opportunity, too.

  18. I read with my son every night. We also practice basic math skills by “playing with” fruit flavored cheerios or mini-marshmallows. I dump a pile on the kitchen table and then start giving him equations to figure out. Once he gets the right answer, he’s allowed to eat the food!

  19. I read to my toddler every day, say nursery rhymes, play music and dance, and we spend lots of time outdoors, exploring

  20. I watch my 3 yr old grandson and I have been trying to do educational things as often as possible. We sing the alphabet. We count and name colors of the things he is playing with such as his little cars. I have also been helping him write on a Magnadoodle. It’s fun and it saves paper. And you can just keep erasing and writing. I would love to have some books to work on with him. Thanks for the great giveaway!
